GITEX Europe’26 is back at Messe Berlin, and it is shaping up to be one of the busiest tech gatherings on the continent this year. The event pulls together founders, investors, enterprise leaders, and policymakers from more than 100 countries. The focus this time leans on what actually ships, not on AI hype.
If you build, fund, or sell technology in Europe, this is a sensible place to spend two days.

What this Event Covers:
GITEX Europe spreads across several themed zones. AI Everything Germany sits at the center; cybersecurity runs under GISEC Europe, deep science gets the Quantum Expo, and startups have North Star Europe. Sessions cover practical AI deployment, digital sovereignty, cloud, and ClimateTech.
Speakers Worth Watching:
The lineup leans toward operators. Jarek Kutylowski, founder and CEO of DeepL, is confirmed, along with Niklas Östberg of Delivery Hero and Niklas Harzheim from OpenAI’s German team. Daniel Khachab of Choco speaks on AI in the food supply chain, and Maya Noel of France Digitale represents the founder community. On the media side, Katie Drummond of WIRED and Sophie Schmidt of Rest of World join the stages. Germany’s first Digital Minister, Dr. Karsten Wildberger, also speaks.
Where Startups Meet Capital:
North Star Europe is the part most founders care about. It connects startups with investors through curated matchmaking, and the Supernova All Stars pitch competition puts a serious equity-free prize on the table. Investors like Project A Ventures, Speedinvest, and Antler are confirmed, so the room is real.
VIP Programme for Executives:
Senior leaders get their own track. The complimentary VIP Exclusive Connection Programme fast-tracks strategic partnerships, tech sourcing, and high-level insights across the two days. C-suite members can apply for closed-door, peer-level discussions and meetings with global AI and tech solution providers. Slots are limited, and you apply at tinyurl.com/GE26VIPPROGRAMME.
